84CHAPTER 8: SYSTEM EVENTS

4Check Enable Email Notifcation of System Events.

5In the SMTP IP Address field, enter the IP address of the server to which the email notifications from the Webcache will be sent.

CAUTION: To use the email notification feature, you must enter the IP address of an SMTP server that does not require SMTP authentication in the SMTP IP Address field in the Email Notification screen.

6In the From Addresses for Notifications field, enter the address of the email account from which the email notifications will appear to be sent from.

CAUTION: If you do not enter a valid email address, the email notifications will be rejected by the server that you entered in the SMTP Name/IP address field. A valid email address is a fully specified address containing a domain name, for example “webcache@3com.com”. The partial address “webcache” would be rejected by the server.

3Com recommends that you use the domain name of the Webcache as the email address. If you have entered “webcache” as the host name and “mycompany.com” as the DNS domain name of the Webcache, then you would enter “webcache@mycompany.com” as the email address.

7In the To Addresses to Receive Notifications field, enter the addresses of all the email accounts that will receive the email notifications. Ensure that you separate each address with a comma. You can enter up to 255 characters in this field.
